I tried to watch it. Turned it off. It wasn't Shatner playing Kirk, it was Shatner playing Shatner in Kirk drag.
"it was Shatner playing Shatner in Kirk drag." One could say the same thing about his performance in Trek V. Shatner's inner sense of who Kirk is doesn't deviate much from himself. It takes a strong director to reign him.
